Pilot desalination plant may expand water to millions
In Puerto Peñasco Sonora Mexico a sun powered desalination plant now produces about 3 000 gallons daily for about 7 000 residents including the school and hospital. The system can reach 10 000 gallons in summer but demand outstrips supply. Officials hope to reduce cost to 50 cents per 1 000 gallons, enabling widespread use in North Africa Australia Mexico Chile and parts of the US. Carl Hodges leads the project from the University of Arizona and expects results by summer.
